Riga
ugly outside, beautiful inside. This definition is justified if you are coming from the port. Riga is chilly, a little 'gray, especially the part facing the river Daugava. As soon as you enter the narrow streets of the medieval layout of the pastel facades us back to the delightful Tallinn. Of course that line is harsh, less sublime in the capital of Estonia. It will be for his troubled history, punctuated with often disastrous invasion, or perhaps for the ethnic groups that have succeeded, by the Swedes to the Germans by the Russians in Latvia itself. The fact is that the style of its buildings is slightly eclectic. The churches, as in Scandinavia, are presented as impressive as the outside of furniture to the poor-house. The winding streets of downtown are just - it's hard to get lost - and leave gradually discover this incredible city. After the center, it comes in a beautiful city park, very well maintained and with a green from envy. In general, streets and sidewalks are clean, fine, almost neat. A holiday in Latvian can not tell from a central Italian town kasbah.
Line is suspended between the fairy and the gloomy. Again we note that the city is "winter", unused to the light, the sun seems to snub in itself, as if to protect themselves from the long, dark, cold Scandinavian winters. Although it was Strapazzata history, maintains a modest but dignified aplomb . A beggar helps us get over the uneven steps of a church with the stroller. Do not ask for anything, or at least not in words. The look miserable, he begged a penny, but stresses that the gesture would have done anyway. Maybe he is a consummate actor, but poverty must be their unconcealed.
